In RF power transistor characterisation, the designer is confronted with low impedance measurements (typically from 1 Ohm to 12 Ohm). These transistors are contained in metal-ceramic packages of which the lead widths vary with power capability. This thesis presents a high-quality fixture design with low impedance TRL calibration standards for characterisation of an LDMOS transistor. Pre-matching networks are used to transform to the low impedance environment. Since these pre-matching networks are independent of the termination impedance, the low impedance port can always be designed to comply with the same dimension as the device which is being measured. 2006-11-13T06:35:55Z 2010-06-01T08:50:51Z 2006-11-13T06:35:55Z 2010-06-01T08:50:51Z 2005-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2510 University of Stellenbosch 3717353 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch
